Sharm

It's nice to know when others are calm and happy. Brings a smile to my face. I hope it lasts you a while

@Vance Raehart You could try anyway. You could also get your butt banned. So many possibilities!

@samkfj I'm glad you got an extra smile out of this! I think it will, I know what I did to make the day start calm, and I intend to do it again tomorrow.

It's early morning in my time zone, and this is great news to start my day. So pleased.

Aww. I hope you feel better too. Ginger is my favorite thing for all things upset tummy. It's spicy hot the same way cinnamon is but it really helps and you can get used to the kick.

Yeah. The last thing I need is the flu. And really Vance, with minds like ours, any comment can be turned into a dirty joke, believe me.

Oh, um, dirty joke teasing isn't a family thing, just FYI. It's playful ribbing that is normal for us. *doesn't want to suddenly get a bunch of dirty jokes*

That's good! I always worry that I'm being annoying, since I'm normally much more shy.

Apparently organizating my resources also means downloading even more. There's a lot of good stuff you can find for free out there!

You? Being annoying? Maybe the day swine would develop the ability to take flight.

*waves*

She doesn't bite. Maybe.

I don't think so, but I am certainly not against someone using it that way. Whatever works for you! Personally, I think if you're going to match it to an RTP, it matches XP better. It needs a palette change, but that's easy enough when you're dealing with pixel art.

Misread your earlier comment, sorry about that. I will have to take some time and look at these programs. The extent of "graphic editing" i have done so far has been using yanfly's icon generator.

No worries. No one expects you to be an expert when you're just starting out, and you don't have to be good at everything to use RPG Maker.

My girl hates it too--she says it's because of the fake taste and how it's mostly sugar.

For me things like that are all I know.

Girls are weird about chocolate. There's a lot of things in chocolate that are super useful for certain times of the month. Magnesium, iron, caffeine, sugar, and more. Also the mood benefits are apparently true, it boosts production of endorphins and neurotransmitters. Not all girls like or crave chocolate, but there's a reason why so many do.

That's really neat. I had no idea.

Thanks! I didn't say anything yesterday, so I didn't expect anyone to remember. I had a fun day out with my family.

Well...I didn't 'remember' but I saw it just now lol Guess I'm still observant when I want to haha. Well that's good having fun with the family Here's to a better year then the last one!

Happy birthday. In the voice of frosty the snowman.

Yeah, I haven't been on for a while, I had a rough patch with my health. Had a bad reaction to a medication that takes months to get out of my system. I'm starting to get better though.

I hope you are getting a speedy recovery.

No, but I'm happy with any rate of recovery, especially if that means it's a full one. ^_^

I'm sorry, I misunderstood. I thought you were saying that it was good to know if you enjoy alcohol or not. I decided before my drunk accident that I didn't want to ever drink. I hated the experience, but now I have a funny story to tell so it's not so bad.

I'm happy that you like to learn about what I like and don't like. It's fun to make friends. ^_^

I am not worried about it and you do not have to say sorry to me. It is just an honest mistake. That is the problem with posting on text only, people can easily misunderstood each other's without see face to face.

It is good to understand other situations that is a part of being a human.

tfw your computer RAM is bigger than one in your brain.

Heh, pretty much. My brain's RAM is pretty big but I'm ADHD, so I have to keep all of something in my head at once to work on it (instead of just the relevant parts with other things retrieved as needed like a normal brain) and get reeeeeally easily distracted. It's better to keep notes and references so I can pick the whole thing up again when I refocus.

I think this time the number of things I'm bouncing between when distracted or bored has just gotten out of hand. Normally it's just 3, right now it's more than 6. I might also be in a manic phase which dials up my ADHD, creative drive, curiosity, and lack of self preservation to an 11.

That's cool. Breaks are good, but I know that debugging works best when you get in a flow and stick with it for a while. No worries. ^_^

sounds lovely but i don't want to give people eye cancer with my art

So don't show it off. Just do whatever you want with it. The whole point of art is to express, it's not about fitting into a box of expectations.

Ooops! Just realized I was making stuff without checking the scale. Those barrels are huge! It works, though, barrels can be huge sometimes.

I think I can honestly say that your sand detail is the first time I've seen sand tiles for a game with something that actually looks like the sea has flowed over it. That bottom left section looks like sand on a real beach.

Yay! Honestly, sand is really hard to get right. It can be too many things all at the same time.

I too love this style, and would like to make my next project with it, but sadly I don't have battler sprites that fit.

Yeah, the best ones are Holder's and they're still too small. I'm planning on trying to make some, if this drive to pixel lasts. I found some really great references and I'm curious to know if I can do it or not. I can't make any promises though.

Oh, forgot momentarily about Vibrato's battlers. That's a much better size. Would those work?

I really can't agree with you there, RBI, I think the NES Palette is poorly constructed. I really like Dawnbringer and Arne's stuff, but they both require a good understanding of color to use I guess.

Ah, just realized how misleading some of this might be. Pixel Myth's palette won't ever be completely static or changed to an already existing one. I just want a more clearly defined palette to work from.

Whatever you do, we believe in you!

I am so happy for you. Hope it will well dosed and normalized for your heart. Must be a wee bit freeing.

High pulse turned out to be nothing, I just kept accidentally checking it right after going up the stairs. Side effect is the return of the endless migraine. So, maybe not a solution but it is a step forward.

*gesture of victory* YES!

I'd Lenny face you but it's not worth it in other news its hot :/ 85 degrees hot and I had to walk to 7 different stores today makes me upset in the worst type of way is it hot where you are too?

Not too bad. AC went on a bit early for the year but we're used to hot here.

this is the worst type of heat though that's what makes it worst.

Woah! I made a jack-in-the-box animation when I was in college. Nothing I made was that fancy.

well still impressive since its animation XD

Nice!

Unless you are speaking of a paid job. Maybe something in you needed that pause. But I think some of the things you do might kinda have a use for it in background ^^

I don't know enough Japanese to watch it as a background thing, it needs full attention so I can read.

Woopse! Yeah I have that problem with silent and subbed movies too. :x

@Sharm, @starlight dream must have a point there; you can start a tread with things to try. Sometimes the most challenge seeking fellas will gather in the tread and themselves try that stuff and come in other treads with words for it and improvements maybe. Then, unless you seek credits for teaching, you'll be seeding lessons and new teachers for the knowledge you wanna spread.

Hmm, interesting idea. I'll consider it.

If all fails, you'll get into the Monthly progress tread ^^

Meanwhile, I'm still figuring out how to *draw* a dragon. XD

Congrats you deserve something called Legend!
Hopefully he won't devour your toast..

You certainly are here!
